Like the stems. they contain considerable Quantities of valuable plant food (though not so much: and may be used freely as a fertilizer for tobacco and other crops. They may be profitably used to improve the hay lot by simply spreading the stalks over the land in the fall. or they may be plowed under at the same season for cultivated crops. such as cotton, corn. tobacco. etc. The practice of piling tobacco stalks in heaps and leaving them exposed to the weather means a waste of valuable material that might be returned to the soil. Considerable quantities of tobacco stems have long been exported to Ger- many and other parts of Europe. Where they are often used in the manufacture or low grade smoking tobacco and as a source of nicotine, Tobacco stems as fertilizer should be applied in smaller quantities than manure. because they contain larger quantities of the constituents which feed the plant. according to the depart- ment’s tobacco specialists. Two tons per acre of “seed stems” (stems from cigar factories) or two and onehalf tons of “Kentucky stems" (stems from the tobacco factories and stemmeries) are known to give good results in New England. and so far as available these stems will undoubtedly furnish a very satisfactory source of potash. as well as other plant foods. in other tobacco sections.

According to the United States de partment of agriculture, should the at» mand or Europe for American tobacco stems cease these stems. which con- tain large quantities or plant food. es- pecially potash. may be used to good advantage by the American grower of tobacco as fertilizer. Soil fertilized by these stems secured from the cigar and tobacco factories and stemmerles will produce leaf tobacco of better burning qualities and texture.
